Consider the method quickSort, as given in Segment 9.18, that sorts an array of objects into ascending order by using a quick sort. Suppose that 80 90 70 85 60 40 50 95 represents an array of Integer objects.
a. What does the array look like after quickSort partitions it for the first time? (Show all intermediate results.)
b. How many comparisons did this partition process require?
c. The pivot is now between two subarrays called Smaller and Larger. Will the position of this particular entry change during subsequent steps of the sort? Why or why not?
d. What recursive call to quickSort occurs next?
